    Yeah, shadow copies on Windows servers are snapshots of files. They allow users to see previous versions of a file.

    It’s not really intended as a backup solution on its own, but some backup software does use the volume shadow copy service (VSS) to perform backups on Windows servers.

    I was basically restoring files from this prompt in Windows.
